Denaun Porter has just shared his thoughts on Eminem dissing Benzino on “Doomsday Pt. 2” from Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade album, All Is Yellow.
Shadyverse fan account shared a video of Benzino saying: “Nothing y’all can tell me. I’m cooking your Rap God. The guy that you have been obsessed with, especially the black Stans… ughhhh. You are the f–king worst. The blacks Stans, oh my god.”
Under the post, Denaun Porter commented “Ghost” and “Writing Hand” emojis, meaning that Benzino used a ghostwriter for a diss-track. Someone in the comments replied: “Em instigated this war again and not gonna reply to Benzino disses. That’s kinda weak if he don’t.” On that, Mr. Porter replied: “Nope, nobody was paying attention to dude. He’s been taking shots the whole time but no body cared or was even thinking about dude so Em actually didn’t instigate it, but he shouldn’t have paid it no attention, now people are paying attention. That’s all.”
Surprisingly, Joe Budden has taken Eminem’s side in his renewed beef with the former co-owner of The Source magazine, Benzino.
Discussing the recently resurrected feud between the longtime rivals on his self-titled podcast, Joe Budden — who used to be signed to Eminem’s Shady Records as one quarter of Slaughterhouse before they fell out — made it clear he is no fan of Benzino.
“Eminem rhymed animal control with Sandra Bullock’s nose. Em loves rapping so much yo. Nobody else is gonna rhyme Sandra Bullock’s nose with animal control. I like it.” said Joe Budden.
Then he continued: “Maybe punching down is back. I’m with anybody dissing Benzino. Y’all see that ni–a coming out the pool on some bodybuilder s–t with the water glistening off his body trying to be like a seal or some s–t?
“Old ni–as shouldn’t do that. He do too much s–t that old n-ggas shouldn’t do. And I know he tried to bang that transgender. I don’t care what that n-gga say. I know he did! It’s been there! Now me and Em on the same side — look what you did, Benzino. I ain’t never had a problem with Benzino, but Benzino do make being 50 look corny. For real.” Joe Budden added.
About a week ago, Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade dropped a compilation album called “All Is Yellow” which includes a song “Doomsday Part 2” by Eminem. In the song Eminem throws jabs and jokes at Benzino and namedrops his daughter Coi Leray.
In response, Benzino dropped two diss tracks. “Vulturius” and “Rap Elvis.” While the first diss track didn’t have any impact, the second one turns out to be a solid one. Even though hip-hop community thinks that “Rap Elvis” was not written by Benzino, they still think Eminem should respond.
Rapper Mickey Factz said on X: “Benzino went off on Rap Elvis…I did not have this on my bingo card. Even the comments are saying he wilden. They also saying he has a ghostwriter. Its the best I’ve ever heard Zino. I don’t know B. Lol.”
Jersey City rapper Ransom said: “Ummmm.. Benzino created an effective diss record in my opinion.” Battle rapper Real Sikh commented: “Man.…which one of y’all battle rappers ghostwrote that Benzino diss. Benzino ain’t rhyme multi’s in 20 years, and now all of a sudden he usin’ them? This is hilarious.”
Detroit rapper Lazarus said: “Benzino done got himself a ghostwriter.” and Rah Digga also weighted in: “Benzino out here RAPPIN rappin. 2024 is ill.” Battle rapper John John Da Don said: “Eminem losing to Benzino and y’all said he would dominate the battle rap world.”
Somebody on X told King Crooked that Benzino name dropped him in an Eminem diss record, on which Crook replied: “If I say something I don’t want to hear nothing because I was minding my own black business.”
Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo, who was also namedropped in the diss song, recorded a video to respond Benzino and said: “I don’t think it makes sense that you brought me up in your diss song for the few reasons. Number one being I don’t second anything you said. And number two being, I’m never going to go against ni–a from my city for a ni–a for another city. I don’t move like that. I think you got the wrong impression of Detroit, Michigan and of who I am. I don’t work like that. Plus, I don’t disrespect or discredit who Eminem is. I’m real ni–a. What he did might never be done again. He’s top 5 lyricist dead or alive. Flat out. That s–t is not even arguable or debatable.”
Many people think that it was Cassidy who wrote the disstrack of Eminem based on the flow Benzino uses. It’s very similar to Cassidy’s. And Cass has previously expressed on many occasions that he wants to battle Eminem and maybe using Benzino for it was his best chance.

The documentary includes footages from 2009 when Eminem inducted Run-DMC into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. As well as new interview from Slim Shady: “If there was no Run-DMC, there might not be no me. There might not be a lot of other rappers. DMC’s voice was so commanding. So big and godly to me.

Hip-hop icon Treach from legendary hip-hop trio Naughty By Nature has recently sat down with another hip-hop icon, Willie D, from Geto Boys rap group has recently sat down on Willie D Live podcast where the two talked about many topics, including Eminem.
Willie D: I think that everybody know that you don’t play man, including Eminem. Eminem gave you big shout out man. He studied you man. That’s a huge accomplishment considering how so many million of millions people believe that Eminem is a top dog. They believe that he’s that dude. And for his to say ‘nah, Treach that dude!’ That’s crazy!
Treach: I always call him my lightskinned twin. A lot of artists will go and say ‘yeah I created the style, mad that bla bla bla bla, it’s me, me, me, me’ when somebody like that…And it’s not just me, he has a list of his favorite artists, I might be at the top of the list, for somebody give accolades like…That’s our era. We be like I feel like Run-DMC, LL, Slick Rick, the whole list, KRS-1, we’ll name a million artists because our ego won’t let us not name them because we actually came up. Where my style came from? Everybody I listened to. But I had to make my own style out of it. Now when Em comes saying I was his major influence in him getting better and seeing and studying me and everything else, everybody don’t do that.
Willie D: I first met Em at Beats Music Launch in Los Angeles. We were backstage and his manager brought me to the bus. Em had bus back there. And Em was like ‘I just got through listening though your album ‘Controversy.’ He’s really a student of the game and he’s a teacher. A good student eventually becomes the teacher, the professor. And Em knows his history. Like, he really knows his history and you are right, it’s not just you, he has a list of artists that he listened to that inspired him. And he put all that s–t together and he evolved into his own thing. Evolved into Eminem. But he’s one of the few dudes out there, especially as far as one of the top dogs, who would give credit. A lot of these dudes, they just hold their nuts. They will tell you in private they like you but they’ll never say it publicly.
Treach: Yeah! And then they play race card, like, he’s a white guy and he should never be accepted as one of the greatest or greatest or anything else, like, white people were never part of hip-hop. Actually, the first female that I heard rapping was blondie, saying the rhyme, talking about Grandmaster Flash. The Beastie Boys already knew that they were white and race card could get pulled. So, you’ve seen the first album cover, like the plane is crushing? We all listened to Beastie Boys and loved them and by the time they put out the video out we ain’t give a f–k if they were white. White people were in breakdancing. They were doing graffiti. Yes, us, we created it but the part of the culture of hip-hop, it was Hispanic white, black first but of course it was all part of it. So when you look at Em and say you don’t deserve a part of hip-hop or rap or a culture, it’s disrespectful to the art. You know what I mean? MC Serch! Can’t nobody that really know the lyrics say Eminem is whack or he just got where he at cause he’s white. Go and try that s–t and let him hear it and watch he tear your a– up on the record.
Willie D: Well, here is a thing about Em and most of other rappers that came up 20 years ago. They had to be stamped by black people. When it comes to black culture, most white people will sit back and see if black people like it first. And if black people like it then they start saying ‘okay what’s this about’ and then they become a fan. Em first fans were black. His firs fans were black. There is no doubt about it. Before he started getting played on those Top 40 stations, he was only being played on the hip-hop stations.
Treach: And before he even came out with records on 8 Mile, he was doing battles and everything else. He was in the black hood. Facts!
Mike Shinoda, the co-founder the rock band Linkin Park and is co-lead vocalist, as well as rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, primary songwriter and producer for the bad, has recently done a question and answer session on Twitch with the fans. During 1-hour long conversation, Shinoda briefly talked about Eminem too.
During the livestream, one user commented: “Imagine Mike Shinoda having a rap battle with Eminem. Maybe they should go on epic rap battles of history as themselves!” On which, Mike Shinoda replied: “You mean imagine me like a toddler getting blown up by a nuclear weapon? Eminem is the greatest freestyle rapper, greatest battle rapper of all time. I don’t give a s–t what anybody says.”
Someone asked: “If not a rap battle, please do a collab with Eminem, we all grew up listening to both Linkin Park and Eminem.” On that, Mike replied: “Am I gonna collab with Eminem? Probably not. I think Eminem is incredible but it’s not on to-do list.”
You can watch the video clip cut out from the livestream below:
Yesterday, Benzino released his second Eminem-diss track, “Rap Elvis,” which received an applaud from hip-hop community but almost everyone believes that he used a ghostwriter. Detroit’s own Icewear Vezzo also was not happy about the former co-owner of The Source magazine namedropping him in the song.
In the song, Benzino raps: “Icewear Vezzo said “yo Em don’t be showin’ the city love” Why you ain’t got no words for him, huh? He in your city, bruh.” Eminem and Icewear did have a little misunderstanding before. But the two met backstage at 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour in Detroit and worked it out. Icewear explained what he really meant when he said that Eminem does not connect to young Detroit rappers in a multiple interviews, showed love to Em and called him one of the greatest rappers of all time. Thus, whatever Benzino raps here, is wrong.
Few hours after the “Rap Elvis” dropped, Icewear Vezzo responded Benzino on his Instagram: “I don’t think it makes sense that you brought me up in your diss song for the few reasons. Number one being I don’t second anything you said. And number two being, I’m never going to go against ni–a from my city for a ni–a for another city. I don’t move like that. I think you got the wrong impression of Detroit, Michigan and of who I am. I don’t work like that. Plus, I don’t disrespect or discredit who Eminem is. I’m real ni–a. What he did might never be done again. He’s top 5 lyricist dead or alive. Flat out. That s–t is not even arguable or debatable. He put ni–as from his era. I be speaking about my era.”
Looks like Benzino is about to go on Nick Cannon mode. The former co-owner of The Source magazine has just dropped the second diss track, responding to Eminem’s jabs on “Doomsday Pt. 2”
“Rap Elvis” is the follow-up of “Vulturius,” the first diss-track that dropped couple of days ago. Even though Zino claimed that he’s too old for the rap, here we are, with the second diss track, accusing Eminem for clout chasing his name.
“I was minding my business, you wasn’t making any type of noise these days, So a choice was made, clout chase Benzino and Coi Leray.” Zino raps. Then he continues: “Okay, you found 50 and you put 5 Detroit n-ggas / Rest in piece to the best one, the rest of them sound iffy / So let’s go down your stable, Gun left your label / Benny left your label, Con left your label, Royce left your label / Joe Budden left your label, Ortiz left your label (Damn) / Crooked I couldn’t save you, Yelawolf been out her floppin’ (nah) / And where the hell Ca$his been at though? / Only heard from Obie Trice only twice and not a word from Stat Quo / With all them false lines you pitched them / Shady records sound like less of a name and more like a description.”
Some facts are wrong here. Benny The Butcher was never the part of Shady Records. Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine did not left the label, their contract was just expired. Royce 5’9″ is still on the label. Joel Ortiz did not left the label as well, the contract was frozen because of Joe Budden running his mouth. As far as Yelawolf, he was nowhere near flipping when he was on Shady.
Benzino also accused Eminem for not responding real lyricist but easily going at pop stars: “My ni–a Young Zee dissed you, Milkbone dissed / you, [?] dissed you, Pacewon dissed you (Okay) / Real lyricists but you ain’t go back at them did you? (Never) But you would rather battle pop stars just to get your issue / You like to pick the low hanging fruit lets get this clear / You dissed, Elton John, your mum, your ex, Britney Spears / You dissed Lana Del Ray fam, Moby, Iggy / Will Smith, Nick Cannon, Insane Clown Posse / A retired Joe Budden, when I tell a lie stop me (Stop me) / Machine Gun Kelly, that boy damn near whipped you (What) / Come on dog, how Vanilla Ice gon’ diss you?”

Boskoe100, also known as Boskoe1 is a hip-hop artist who hails from Inglewood, California. He became well-known in the music industry after a street feud went viral on the internet. He has recently sat down on VLAD TV where he talked about Eminem dissing Benzino and kind of responded Dr. Umar for saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest because of his skin color.
“[Dissing Benzino?] It’s kind of whack, though. I ain’t gonna lie. Y’all had beef 20 years ago. Ain’t nobody thinking about that. Then why he didn’t diss The Game? We would have cared more, I would not really cared about him dissing Game either but I would have cared little bit more at least, if it was Game. Benzino? What is Benzino doing? It’s like being a bully at this point. You dissing Benzino, you bulling that man. He don’t even rap. He probably rapped before but he’s not a rapper. Benzino not putting our record. Benzino going viral for asking his kids for money. It’s like kicking a dead dog. But I love Benzino. I f–k with Benzino. I remember the whole The Source period of time. But even of more recent, I f–k with him because he gave us his daughter. I ain’t gonna lie, I love that ni–a daughter. Coi Leray is f–king amazing. I love her. Much respect for just breeding that bro. For breeding and blessing the culture with this beautiful spirit. So I don’t got nothing against Benzino. Never really did. But honestly I feel like Eminem trying to go at him is kind of like big corny.” said Boskoe100.
Then he continued: “[He’s one of the most dangerous emcees] I would never take that away from him. I would argue anybody down that Eminem isn’t one of the top lyricists in the game. I was born in ’82. So, as far as my lifetime, my love for hip-hop and my relationship with hip-hop, Eminem is undeniably in the top 10 for sure. You can’t deny it. Hip-hop was not about race. People always try to take away from his attributes just because he’s white. Hip-hop might have been a black start. It might started in Bronx and black dudes might started it but hip-hop was not based off the race. Hip-hop was always based off of the culture. Hip-hop is a culture. It’s not a racial aspect, it’s a cultural aspect. We do not matter if he’s white or not. If he’s spitting and doing this s–t that you ni–as started, he doing better than you, what’s the problem with that? That’s like saying a black actor can’t be the GOAT. That’s like saying Denzel [Washington] ain’t in the top 10 actors because he’s black. I’m sure that first play probably was not done by a black man but he’s in that white dominated genre or field and he’s one of the top 10 in the game. It goes both ways. Hip-hop was not based off of the race like Hollywood was not based off of race.”
“I’ve been an Eminem fan from day one. I always f–ked with Em. So, I never felt no kind of way about him being white but killing everybody off. It don’t matter who kill you as long as you get killed, right? It does not matter who the shooter is as long as you get shot.” – Boskoe100 added.
Eminem riled up and taunted San Francisco 49ers fans during their NFC Conference game against his own Detroit Lions. Slim Shady attended the crunch game at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday (January 28, 2024) and decided to mix it up with the home fans when they saw him in the executive seats.
A video captured by 49ers fans at the game saw Eminem sticking up both his middle fingers at the rival supporters and jibing with sections of the home crowd. Unfortunately for the Rap God, his antics were unable to have a positive impact on his beloved Lions, who blew a 17-point lead — and the chance to play in the franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl — in a 34-31 loss. It means the 49ers will face off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on February 11, where Usher will provide the halftime entertainment.
Though the Lions came up short, Eminem accepted defeat gracefully as he wrote on social media after the game: “So proud of the @Lions Thanks 4 an amazing season!!!! We’ll b back!!!” but the picture and video of him flipping the bird at 49ers fans went viral on social media.
Even 50 Cent enjoyed it. The New York legend posted a picture of Slim Shady and 49ers fans pointing middle fingers at each other with the caption: “Detroit is not feeling good right now! @eminem. Damn that was a good game.” 2 Chainz commented “Haha” and Uncle Murda and Cory Gunz replied laughing emojis in the comments section of the post. Check the screenshot below:
Cole Bennet and Lyrical Lemonade’s much anticipated debut album All Is Yellow is finally here. We’ve been speculating for months about Eminem ‘s possible involvement with the project. Well, just a few weeks before it dropped, Southpawers among many Shady fans turned out to be correct. Let’s talk about “Doomsday Pt. 2.”
When the track was first announced, I wasn’t sure what to think. Are we getting modern Eminem doing his nasally Shady/Role Model voice over that legendary beat? What will the track be about? Are we getting another touching ballad in respect of Juice WRLD? I’m usually pretty good at solving Eminem puzzles, but this one was hard to crack.
To my surprise, it turned out to be a full blown verse directed directly at Benzino’s throat. I’ll be honest, I’m still not sure how I feel about Eminem being the guy to drop a diss track as his contribution for a mostly celebratory album. All Is Yellow is Cole’s baby, and it’s like Eminem is the weird Uncle that shows up to the party pissed off for some reason. I mean, there’s a time and a place for anger, and personally, this feels like a weird place for a diss track. I think a Benzino track would have also made a lot more sense about a year ago. Imagine if “Killshot” dropped a year after Rap Devil. Maybe Eminem didn’t know when the album was dropping, but that’s another reason why it’s weird to put a diss track on an album that you don’t control the release of.
Okay, I got that off my chest, let’s talk about the song. We have a beat-flipped version of the “Role Model” instrumental. It’s a little slower and mixed with a bit of reverb to add the eeriness of the verse. Eminem’s flow isn’t quite staccato, but his flow pattern pauses for punchlines. You’ve heard Eminem do this before.
The verse starts with Eminem clearing his throat (a sure sign that he’s about to go off on someone). He follows this up with some clever lines that imply he still thinks he’s a better MC than most, and he’s also not going to stop. He references The Walking Dead to imply everyone else are Zombies, but Em Is gonna Shred until he needs a “Walker”. Get it? – “‘Til I need a walker like Herschel, I’m better than all of you fuckin’ little twerps put together.”
He even goes as far as to imply there’s no point in talking about who had the second best verse on “Forever,” (a song by Drake, which also features Lil Wayne and Kanye West) because his was so far beyond the others. I mean, he’s right but… wow!
My favorite line in the entire verse is next. Right before steers verse directly towards Benzino he says this: “What is the opposite of Benzino? (Uh, what?) A giraffe”. You have no idea how funny this line is to me. For those who don’t know, in 2010, Eminem jokingly said his biggest fear is giraffes because of their necks. This means Eminem is saying Beninzo doesn’t scare him at all; the complete opposite. Bro doesn’t even have a neck. Classic Eminem, cracking jokes in the middle of crucifying a victim.
Once we get into the meat, the verse goes for Benzino’s throat for real. He reopens the healing, but fresh wound left by his daughter (Coi Leray) when she said her dad is jealous of her success. “Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ayy? (Goddamn)”. What a gut punch! From here, Em systematically continues to take shots at him about being broke and incredibly washed up.
The song winds down with Eminem once again clarifying that he is and always will be the psychopathic battle rapper that has no problem strangling his opponents with a mic cord. As he cleans up shop, he finishes his verse by shouting out J. Cole for being on the same level, then Cole Bennet for having him on the album.
I’m still not sure how the creation of this track came to be. My theory is, it was originally just going to be the third verse after Juice’s and Cordae’s on “Doomsday.” Maybe someone pitched the idea to separate Em’s verse due to the drastic change in tone. If you look at the All In Yellow tracklist, Eminem is the only one who has a song to himself. As strange as it is, Eminem is actually shooting a music video for a diss track.
When the dust settles, I think this is actually a very strong tonuge-in-cheek diss track, even if it feels a little late. I still feel it’s necessary for Eminem to retaliate after Benzino’s been throwing shots on Twitter and interviews for years. At this point Zino is in damage control mode. He called Eminem too old for this, despite Benzino being older and having no problem with running his mouth constantly.
Benzino has fired back at Eminem with a new diss song called “Vulturius” on which he mocks Em’s drug overdose and the death of his late friend Big Proof and Charlamagne looks impressed by it.
Eminem had taken shots at the former co-owner of The Source magazine on his recent track “Doomsday Pt. 2”, and now his old rival has responded on “Vulturius,” which borrows JAY-Z‘s “Where I’m From” beat. Zino raps: Candy-a– Eminem, b–ch-a– feminine/ Mad he lack melanin, all Valium’d up again/ Aw, s–t, here we go, Benzino vs. Jim Crow/ Know a custy when I see one, how many times you overdose?”
Benzino also mocks the death of Eminem’s late friend and fellow D12 rapper Proof: “You a punk, plan my funeral? Please, you shoot who?/ Square ain’t even go circle the block for Proof.”
It looks like Charlamagne was impressed by Benzino’s bar as the media personality talked about it on Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM: “That ain’t it Eminem. What’s the point? Why? It just sonically not appealing to my ears but why? What are they even beefing for?” said Charlamagne Tha God.
Then he continued: “From what I heard, Benzino snapping on this. It sounded like Benzino was kind of hard. Play that little snippet for me again…I got to give Benzino that one. I ain’t heard either whole record but if I’m going off snippets, Benzino has better beat selection, heard some better bars from Benzino than I heard from Eminem. I know that sounds crazy to say but am I lying? Benzino had some balls. Sounds like Benzino got him for me from what I heard out from those snippets.”
